F. Maze et al., Regio- and diastereoselective S(N)2 ' or S(N)2 '' reactions on chiral acetals of cyclic aldehydes promoted by PhCu, BF3, TETRAHEDR-A, 12(14), 2001, pp. 1957-1960
The regio- and diastereoselectivity of the addition of PhCu, BF3 reagent on
chiral acetals derived from several mono or dienic aldehydes was studied.
It as found that monoethylenic acetals react regio- and diastercoselectivel
y via Lin overall anti S(N)2' reaction. The regioselectivity observed with
the dienic acetals seems to be strongly dependent on the nature of the acet
al. In all cases the S(N)2'' reaction was the result of an anti process. (C
